here's a great list of 80s crap.

my favorites:
"You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons "
"You got super-excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school"
"You remember Hypercolor T-shirts"

From the list in that link:

"You thought She-ra and He-Man should hook up" - Did the makers of this list not realize that this would be incest? Anyone who really remembers both of those characters wouldn't think they should hook up.

Music videos were something to look forward to. MTV had them on all of the time. In the early and mid 90's, almost all of the videos were good. Even Right Said Fred.

MTV used to be really cool. I used to have good music, good shows, etc. I remember when they used to have Spring Break on there....

and you had to catch the video on MTV, or you wouldn't get to see it.
remember Headbanger's ball? AIC was on there a couple of times. I taped it. I wonder if that VHS is still around???


As far as fashion comebacks, the 80s return to high schools, i shit you not.
I've been in classrooms a lot recently and i see girls with leggings and knee high boots, or legging with lace on the bottom, and pumps....those off-the-shoulder shirts...fluorescent colors...
the 80s are back, folks. Scary.

I don't think She-ra was He-Man's type anyway

Wow I so miss the 80's and 90's. Not to sound like I am a hundred but life seemed easier, better

hhaha anyone remember trying to tape songs from the radio... lol and that wasn't illegal.

The Commodore 64. What a piece of technology that was!!

I had the 16k Commodore +4 and later an Amiga 500(Moonstone and Kick-off were amazing), eventually traded for a Strat copy.

I used to walk-the-dog with my shit-hot black and red Yo-yo.

Anyone from the UK remember the West Ham hard man Julian Dicks? I saw him in a boozer on Halloween night, still got the shaven head and wasn't look looking very approachable for a photo.

Remember Kriss Kross and their backwards jeans
